Default How do I remove docs from the built-in Work menu?

I created the Work menu through the Tools Customize Built-in feature, but
cannot find a way to delete documents that I added to the Work menu and no
longer need or want there. Does anyone know how to delete them? Not the Work
menu itself, just some of the documents linked to it.

You use the destructive cursor CTRL+ALT+Hyphen. Then select with that cursor
the item you wish to delete. Treat this tool with caution as it will remove
any menu entry you apply it to. ESC cancels.

Thank you, Graham! That did the trick, and I've added the info to my Things
I'm Sure To Have Forgetten When I Next Need Them file.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has one of those files. Only mine is the
"Things I Keep Forgetting" file. g

Isn't that what the Work menu is for? I have some documents on my Work menu
that I'd be hard put to it to find if they weren't there!
